Patient's question:
Because of incomplete miscarriage, I had another procedure two weeks later and started taking Motherwort. How long does it generally take?First follow-up question: Doctor: It varies from person to person. What is the basis for this?
Second follow-up question: Doctor, could you please elaborate? By the second day, fetal tissue had already been expelled, and the blood flow had decreased, but there were still blood clots. It is now the third day.
Third follow-up question: Doctor, should I continue taking Motherwort until the bleeding stops, or can I stop once the blood flow decreases and there is no more fetal tissue expelled?
Doctor's answer:
Within 2 weeks after the flow, there may be a small amount of bleeding. Motherwort granules are used to promote blood circulation and help the uterus recover after the abortion. Generally, it is recommended to take it for about 5-7 days after the surgery. Post-abortion vaginal bleeding usually lasts for 3-5 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If there is prolonged bleeding, bleeding volume greater than the normal menstrual period, or accompanied by significant abdominal pain, it may indicate incomplete abortion, poor uterine contraction, or infection, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. This requires active examination as it may lead to inflammation.
